I'm looking for suggestions and opinions on a set of leg-related tags. I recognize this is long; please bear with me. This deals with the following tags:

== On 100+ posts ==

• leg_grab
• hand_on_leg
• leg_wrap
• leg_glider_position
• holding_leg
• holding_legs
• curled up

== On 10-100 posts ==

• tail_around_leg
• leg_hug
• arm_around_leg
• hugging_legs
• grabbing_leg
• grabbing_legs
• fetal_pose
• fetal_position
• knees_pulled_up

== On <10 posts ==

• hand_on_legs
• hugging_leg
• leg_hold
• arm_around_legs
• lifted_by_legs
• legs_wrap
• legwrap
• leg_grabs
• leg_wrapped_around
• legs_around

Overview

First, let's go over what has been established:

leg_grab is described as gripping someone else's leg or legs at the ankle, calf, or knee (as distinct from thigh_grab).

holding_leg is described as a character holding their own leg or legs.

hand_on_leg is described as a hand is resting on a character's leg - and going by the wiki, it appears to be intended for poses, rest-places, and other such things as independent from either holding_leg or leg_grab. I am unsure whether it should be restricted to the character's own hand. (One way or another, there is a lot of mistagging under this particular tag.)

leg_wrap refers to one character holding another by wrapping their legs around them; it appears to be used primary for missionary-and-related positions and the occasional wrestling move.

And then we have the "curled up" bunch. curled_up refers to limbs being pulled into the center of one's form, and the wiki page says to also tag fetal_pose if the spine is curved forward and head is tucked in. knees_pulled_up is arguably independent, but directly related.

Many of the lesser tags are redundant with the above, but there are a few further things that are frequently being described, notably under leg_hug: First, the act of wrapping one's arm or arms entirely around a leg to hold it as frequently seen in leg_glider_position. Second, the act of holding onto someone's leg while sprawled out next to them, as per post #1260931 or post #177613.

Suggestions

I'll be using → to mean aliasing. First, the big one:

• holding_legs → holding_legs_(disambiguation)
• leg_hug → leg_hug_(disambiguation)

holding_legs is entirely redundant despite having over three-hundred posts; it's composed mostly of a mix of holding_leg and leg_grab; I suspect it also sounds like the most likely thing someone tags if they aren't familiar with those two tags. So, I'm suggesting it be turned into a disambiguation tag. Same goes for leg_hug, which variously refers to holding a leg with an arm, hugging up against a character's lower leg, and even leg_wrap. It could be argued that the two should use the same disambiguation page, or at least mention each other.

Now, for a few easy ones:

• hugging_legs → holding_leg

• grabbing_leg → leg_grab
• leg_grabs → leg_grab

• legs_wrap → leg_wrap
• legwrap → leg_wrap
• leg_wrapped_around → leg_wrap
• legs_around → leg_wrap

• hand_on_legs → hand_on_leg

• fetal_position → fetal_pose

• grabbing_legs → holding_legs_(disambiguation)
• leg_hold → holding_legs_(disambiguation)
• arm_around_legs → holding_legs_(disambiguation)

The reasoning should be fairly obvious for most of them. The first one is suggested based on present use I suggest aliasing to the proposed disambiguation page for the last three due to ambiguity.

Further Issues

This leaves a few questions:

• What should the tag be for clinging to a character's leg?
• Do we want a tag to distinguish holding one's own leg or legs with one's arms rather than one's hands?
• Do we want a tag for grabbing someone else's leg or legs with one's arms rather than one's hands?
• Do any of these imply curled_up or knees_pulled_up?

The answers to these might change some of the above, as well determine what is to be done with tags like arm_around_leg and hugging_leg.

Lastly, for completion: leg_glider_position does not always imply leg_grab, but it may be wise to mention the latter (or the arm-based equivalent) on the former's page and vice-versa. I have no idea what to do with lifted_by_legs. If there's a related bondage tag or position tag, it could probably use an aliasing. While tail_around_leg likely doesn't need any changes, it could be argued to be grab-related; perhaps a note on its wiki page.

Aside, any advice for formatting further forum posts is welcome. :P
